Hi! Hope everyone had a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend! We stayed home this year and so I took advantage of cuddling with my Jake, kitties, and dog (yes, all on the same couch). I had soooo much fun experimenting with Lions Brand’s Ruffle. I wanted to make a hat that was functional but stylish. I crocheted the purple one first and thought it was kind of cute and funky, but not what I was looking for. So I tried another one and came up with the blue/black hat. It came out better than I expected, very simple, easy, and yet pretty. I got all excited and wanted to share it with everyone and so I started working on a pattern! I have three self-published crochet patterns, but NO HATS! This is my first one!

I need to come up with a front and back pattern cover so I’ll have to load up my copier with lots of ink because it takes me LOTS of mistakes before I get just the right design. Then I’ll need to start crocheting a scarflette to match and come up with another pattern. I think it will be a beautiful “Crochet Ruffle Hat Set”! I will put the patterns on my Etsy shop and ravelry. com (I just joined-my shop is Alaska Locker Hooking Etc. or you can type my name in under “designers”) and of course on my website.
